    Does anyone know when the FF will be coming to town?

    I am interested in seeing this car mostly because it does not photograph well.
    The 458 does not photo well, either and I love that car!!

    My wife says we need 4 seats.

    Of course, she would prefer an AM Rapide, but I may have her convinced that we "need" a Ferrari instead.

    So.....when's the unveiling?????

    I asked a month or two ago and there wasn't one planned. I sure hope they changed their mind! :)

    I think I'd get the Rapide and a nice used 430.

    :)

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Nick, but I wasn't asking the haters.

    The fact is, that it is a Ferrari, it does have a V-12 and a lot of new tech in it.
    It should be a fantastic car.

    I would like to see one in person to see if it is any better than the photos.
    The 612 is an elegant car in person, but does not photo well, IMHO.
    Same for the 458.

    I need 4 seats because my family would like to participate more in Ferrari Club events.

    I don't care that many don't like the FF.
    I didn't think I would like it either, but I am willing to wait until I can sample the car firsthand to render a judgment.

    How about a Panamera, a nice used 430, a Mondial T Cab, 2 new Fiat 500's, and a Hummer golf cart?
    Or a Panamara and an airplane? :)

    The banana would prevent me from enjoying FCA events.

    I should just look at 612s, I suspect.

    ...it seems to not carry any of the vitriol that the bananarama and the FF do.

    Get whatever you want, I just wanted to be sure you'd explored all your options. :)

    I think an FF would be bad a$$.

    Hey Scotty, off topic here, I see you live in Hideaway Lake East TX, My father lives there also, Don Turner, huge golfer, has lived there for about 10 years now. When I recently purchased my 360 he told me someone in Hideaway has a Ferrari too... Is it you?
    BTW: I think the FF is going to be the ultimate SUV! Who cares if it is not a traditional Ferrari... It's not like they are going to quit making the ultimate sports cars to pursue the SUV market.

    That's me.

    I know of a guy here that has a new Rolls and another that has an older Rolls 'vert, but mine was the only Ferrari.

    I say "was" due to the fact that the car now lives in Frisco.

    I'm interested in the others to accomodate my family. Still a member of FCA, etc.

    Thats great! I wonder if you have met my Dad, he pretty much lives on the golf course, plays everyday, his wife Connie works at the clubhouse restraunt (retired and bored).
    I am driving my car up there from Dallas soon to visit and play a round.
